Hope you all enjoyed a fun and exciting, as well as restful and relaxing, Labor Day Weekend! Ours consisted of college football (Melody is pictured above supporting our team…although we weren’t happy to find that the channel they were airing the Texas Tech game on here was showing a Tigers game insteadContinue Reading
Our sweet dog, Melody, is 15 -Â going on 16 -Â years old (in human years) and we thought that elevating her food and water bowls might be helpful and more comfortable for her; so Ryan managed to put together a quick, simple but stylish solution with some wood we had sittingContinue Reading
I’m not going to lie, when I looked out the window on several occasions on Sunday and saw that it was snowing…yes, snowing…on May 15th…I wasn’t a happy camper. Spring? (#winterainteasy) But, despite the cold, rainy weather we had here all weekend, there were some nice things to appreciate – like napping, lilacsContinue Reading
This is Melody. Melody is 15 years and 5 months old. Melody is from Austin, TX. Melody has a tattoo. When she was younger, we took her to training classes and she learned to sit, stay, wait, park it (on her pillow), leave it, high five, and roll over, sheContinue Reading
Last weekend brought us absolutely perfect spring weather and many of the trees here are now in full bloom; spring in Michigan, while it can be unpredictable, is truly a thing of beauty! Our Hellebores in our side yard are stunning and we picked up some cut flowers at the Farmer’sContinue Reading

I recently, to my delight, discovered this Instagram account: momosface. It is, quite simply and quite wonderfully, a photo of a dog’s (Momo’s)Â face every day; the photo’s are wonderful, the dog is adorable, and being a dog lover myself I can’t help but smile every time I take a lookContinue Reading
Last Monday, 3/14, was Pi Day and we celebrated by ordering a pizza pie for dinner and enjoying an apple pie for dessert. We remembered to wear our green for St. Patrick’s Day last Thursday too; even Melody had some green in her collar, so we all avoided getting pinched. WeContinue Reading
I unfortunately caught what I’m 99% sure is a really nasty cold and have been out of commission for most of the week; I still haven’t gotten over it completely, but am finally feeling better which is a relief. In my sick-with-a-cold, Nyquil, Mucinex, Sudafed (or some combination thereof) haze,Continue Reading
Outside: Winter Storm Petros is blowing through the area and has been doing so since yesterday morning. The world is a lovely blanket of white and the snow is still falling… Inside: We stopped at the grocery store on the way home yesterday to pick up fresh bread, soup, beer,Continue Reading
